Montreal, March 7, 2011
Handlex, a business unit of Transat A.T. Inc. offering airport ground services, has come to terms on a new collective agreement with its ramp and cargo employees in Montreal and Toronto. The previous agreement had expired in November 2010.
“Handlex always enjoyed excellent labour relations with its employees and their representatives, and we are pleased with the agreement,” said Handlex President and General Manager Jean-Luc Paiement.
A return-to-work protocol will be discussed very shortly in order to put an end to the current lock-out.
